Commencement 2005
Many thanks to the Commencement Committee and to the faculty and staff who marched or volunteered for the 133rd Buffalo State College Commencement ceremonies on May 14, 2005.
Commencement is the most important ceremonial occasion of our academic year, and a large turnout of faculty and staff helped underscore the value we place on the event. I congratulate the Commencement Committee on a successfully planned and implemented weekend of activities and on three ceremonies that were meaningful and memorable for our graduates and their families. We are also grateful for the participation of student and alumni volunteers. Your demonstration of support for Buffalo State shows the community that ours is a highly esteemed institution. I wish everyone an enjoyable and productive summer.
